it was amazing
bookshelves: fantasy, historical

This little bento box of stories is delicious.
They were published in 1904 but it doesn't matter because the stories are from long ago.
And they're presented by a Greek-Irish author! *

Each one leaves you with "that was deliciously creepy" and a few add "aw, that was nice."

Hearn presents his versions much more crisply and efficiently than what I've seen in similar works by others. Maybe it's his background in journalism.

* If you liked this, or if you can't decide about reading it, click on the author link at the top, or look him up on Wikipedia. He led a really interesting life.
